So I have spent a few hours watching some videos online of simple tips and tricks along with introductions to game maker studio. It looks like this might be a good step in as it seems fairly straightforward as well as looking easy enough and more importantly similar in way to how I used to code in flash. So it looks like it was a good choice.

Now as with most new things I don't like to jump in head long and create the end product. So my plan is to take one of my previous flash games and try and re-create it in this. That way I don't have to think about what comes next as I'm just re-creating what is already out there and as such I am learning how to use the software and code as I go along. The two main contenders are walkers smash game or the retaliation game. Both are very similar in their workings... well similar in techniques I used in flash so aren't a million miles away from each other. I keep jumping between either as the best to make.

My current plan is to get all the assets together once I pick which one to do and then get started, so it will most likely be in a few weeks time before I actually start to code this one but I hope that it shouldn't take too long to actually get this all up and running.
